Accelerating the Life Cycle

The Palworld breeding and hatching mechanics are a significant component of endgame progression. Under the official “Hard” configuration, incubating a Massive Egg can require up to 72 real-world hours, which is often incompatible with the pacing of community-hosted environments. By precisely calibrating the PalEggDefaultHatchingTime and WorkSpeedRate variables, you can transform this process into a more dynamic and engaging experience for your players.

1

Access the Registry

In the Game Panel File Manager, navigate to the following path: /Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini
2

Locate the Variables

Find the PalEggDefaultHatchingTime= and WorkSpeedRate= parameters.
3

Execute Strategic Adjustments

Apply the numeric values identified in the tables below to achieve your desired gameplay balance.
4

Initialize the World

Save the file and Restart your server to apply the updated technical logic.

Calibrating Hatching Intervals

The PalEggDefaultHatchingTime variable acts as a direct temporal multiplier. Lowering this value decreases the real-world time required for an egg to reach maturity.

Vanilla1.072 Hours
Optimized0.1~7 Hours
Rapid0.01~40 Minutes
Instant0.0Immediate (0 Seconds)

Enhancing Production Throughput

To accelerate the actual “generation” of eggs within the Breeding Farm, you must modify the overall efficiency of your worker Pals.
Increasing this value (e.g., to 2.0) instructs the engine to process all tasks, including egg generation, at double the standard speed.
